The results from the 24 Hours of Le Mans have been declared official, some 40 days after the conclusion of the French endurance classic following “deep analysis” of components that were impounded by the FIA and ACO post-race.

Announced in a report of the technical delegates on Friday, all six cars that had parts taken for further inspection, including the LMP2 class-winning No. 34 Inter Europol Competition Oreca 07 Gibson, were found to be in compliance with the technical regulations.

Sportscar365 understands that the ECU and wiring loom from the Inter Europol Oreca that was driven by Albert Costa, Fabio Scherer and Kuba Smiechowski, were among the parts that were impounded.

The Polish team competed in the recent 6 Hours of Monza with the same ECU it ran at Le Mans according to team principal Sascha Fassbender, who had told Sportscar365 of an expected positive outcome from the delegates’ final report.

Several competitors had alleged wrongdoing by Inter Europol, although nothing was found by the FIA and ACO.

“Further checks on parts collected at the event on cars 2, 5, 8, 51, 93 and 34 have been performed,” a statement from the technical delegates read.

“After deep analysis, all cars were found in compliance with their respective regulations.”
